IGTBA because I have no plans at all, and therefor, everything must go exactly according to plan.

#IGTBA because no matter how impossible it may seem or how many plans go awry, everything's going to turn out how it should be.

@musicalSoul44 -- This reminded me of a quote I saw recently: "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."

Exactly! But seriously, I feel like it connects to thinking about my past or even just a day. In one day, 50 things could go wrong, but if it's meant to work out it will. Otherwise, the failed plan will result in something else equally wonderful. Eventually :)

IGTBA because I have an amazing nephew, who looks up to me. Whenever i have to tell him no, which is a lot(hes two) he never takes my stern voice as serious. He just looks at me, like "R u serious" and then smirks and giggles, like he thinks im being sarcastic this makes me tickle him and in the end hes not doing what i told him no about. I love him so much and when im with him, everything seems.. Okay.
